AAA games are soulless garbage, who'd want to work on one?

call him a cat murderer and block him

well he's not wrong.
I wish I would ever get lucky to get in on shit that's early in development and isn't corrupted by the greedy hands of capitalism

Today is literally the best point in history to date for that.

no it isn't
or at least name something specific

Literally what carmack is working on. VR.

>not corrupted by capitalism

sounds like a reasonable response desu

He gave you a completely reasonable answer so you're better off saying thanks for answering. Then you get your ass to work and fix Blood: Fresh Supply.

>what should i respond?

FUCK NIGGERS

Tell him that I love him, and that those limitations are non-existent because devs stopped caring

Capitalism is literally the best thing that's happened to video games. Without it there wouldn't be a reason to make games that are actually worth playing.

Tell him that the time he choked that guy out was pretty sweet, thank him and then ask for dick pics.

Technical limitations. He put his team on a death march during Quake 1's development, which led to Carmack forcing Romero to resign. Daikatana tried to live up to Romero's vision but thanks to limitation on technology, resources, AND time, it came out an unpolished, unfinished mess.

I agree. He took the time to write you an honest response. Give him the respect of a thank you.

This but ask for feet pics instead

I thought e-celeb threads weren't allowed anymore?

what a moron, technology has regressed, yeah there is prettier lighting and textures, but what about all the other shit? gore, physics etc.

What this really means is that games today are entirely about marketing. The budget of a AAA game is almost entirely marketing at this point. Whether the game is good or not has no impact on sales, it can only damage the company’s image for future games.

>developer is eceleb

>Modern game design is a management challenge, not a technology one
While I agree, tech innovation will always be important, but it's oing to be driven by boring nuts and bolts code efficiency or by engineers working for the big gfx card manufacturers

more like Chadmack

>games today are entirely about marketing
Games have ALWAYS been about marketing. It just seems more apparent because video games aren't a niche hobby anymore.

Holy shit you autist, the guy told you what to say right there in his post, can you fucking type?

kill yourself yank

Not really, developer reputation used to be a lot more important than it is now. I swear Activision, EA, Bethesda and Ubisoft make constant blunders and have blatantly anti-consumer policies but 20 IQ retards keep buying their shit regardless because the marketing worked. They stopped caring about keeping a loyal customer base and started subscribing to the “A sucker is born every minute” philosophy.

I too am a refined loot box gambler.

ask him what his thoughts are on the general censorship of sexualist female characters in gaming?
ask him if he considered games are and if games can be considered art if they are constantly censored by sony for political reasons

Ask him if there is any reason he would come back to making games.

Great response. Can't blame him for preferring to chase the VR tech instead of staying in some boring management position.
He could probably make for a decent teacher. He should clearly pass down his knowledge in some way.

There is always room for technological innovation.
What he really means is that technology has reached the point where big publishers can easily shit out formulaic 30-60fps console games with no technological hurdles to overcome.

There are so many things games need that lay in unmade technology. Gamers have been asking for realistic fully destructible environments forever. Gamers have been asking for true massive multiplayer (not 64-128 player instances) forever. Gamers have been asking for high quality procedural generation forever. We're now at the point where advanced AI is being implemented into tons of consumer products, except not games for some reason. All of this stuff depends on code - physics, networking, etc. Good code is more important now than ever, but in the diversity hire age don't count on getting it.

At least he still does talks at conferences.

>During the early id years, Carmack had a cat named Mitzi from his stepfamily. He was very attached to his cat, to the point that his co-workers listed her on the company directory as his significant other. Sadly though, Carmack took her to the animal shelter when she peed all over his brand-new leather couch, where she was presumably put down.

We've reached the point where people are annoyed when there isnt DLC for a game. kill me already

Makes sense
While most of the people here will scream about the apocalypse incoming we have a lot of processing power, so his amazing work of obtimization he did during the doom days is not that needed anymore
Carmack Is a programming genius, one of my personal ispirations, but today you just need basic programming skills to make a successful/good videogame (see undertale)

Thank him for taking the time to respond. It's better than not saying anything at all. You can add some sort of praise for his work if you feel the need, like saying that you liked Doom or something more specific about his work if you're familiar with it.

"Thanks for the great insight."
Then leave him be.

Ask him if he's still cool wit romero and say thanks from us.

Thank him for his service.

They comment on each others tweets so I think so

Yeah but I'd be curious to see how well he does as a teacher. He strikes me as a kinda of guy that if you would pass his class, it's a certification that you know your shit. Unlike so many programming courses out there.

>realistic fully destructible environments

Entirely dependent on the network, nothing to do with the tech on the gamers end

Support more indie devs.

Top experts are usually awful teachers. Teaching is more about interfacing with the human than being groundbreaking in the material.

If the costs outweigh the benefits, the technology is immature and needs advancement.

>so his amazing work of obtimization he did during the doom days is not that needed anymore
Arguably this is one of the current issues in gaming. For all the available tech, optimization is clearly not being properly implemented, considering how games need several gbs as Day one patches.

“I, for one, truly appreciate you, John Carmack, taking the time to construct meaningful answers to the question I posed you regarding the subject you elaborated on, and would like to extend my sincerest thanks for doing so in this exchange, via this electronic message that I am sending you, and that you, hopefully, are currently reading.”

Literally a pussy slayer

>game technology is past the knee of the curve of cost/benefit
Yet you fags keep denying we've reached diminishing returns, lmao

>considering how games need several gbs as Day one patches.
File size inflation is intentional. It's a crude anti-piracy measure, since for your average pirate, they will be able to download the game much quicker by official store compared to by p2p seed.
They don't even hide it. There's just shittons of filler in the code. They use gigantic uncompressed audio or video files that have no returns over compressed ones.

It's a console exclusive. I think the real answer is just how the engine is and how their system is structured. They probably just don't care and when 1 thing is updated a million others need to be too

>It's a console exclusive.
?????
We weren't talking about any specific game.
Are you ESL?

nice arguments retard
you don't understand how any of those things work
if you want physics to be easier to simulate you need stronger hardware, it has nothing to do with software, software tech is making the impossible possible through optimization tricks, which is already possible for destructable environments, the cost just isn't worth the payoff
Technology isn't magic, you aren't going to make 2+2=5 if only you kept doing more research in a field

>There's just shittons of filler in the code
Proof?

There is nothing wrong with getting rid of an animal if you don't want it anymore. He sent it to a shelter. The shelter putting the cat down or not is not Carmack's responsibility.

>realistic fully destructible environments forever.
I believe this mostly comes down to game design, not necessarily an issue with implementing it, since we've seen Red Faction Guerrila where just about everything is destructible in cool ways.
But it also means it's much more difficult to actually plan a game around it because you have to take into account whether the player destroyed a specific building or not. It's why Red Faction or Just Cause focus on more arcade concepts of "Destroy X to unlock main mission that involves a destroying a previously indestructible building"

Are you fucking retarded?

>462259534
>if you want physics to be easier to simulate you need stronger hardware,
Or better physics code. It's really simple.

I won't give you any more attention, sorry.

...but that's exactly what he said

Holy fuck I read day one patches as days gone patches. Sorry user

Believe it or not it's a management problem more than a technical problem
It means that the game was rushed, and lots of ugly code in need of refactoring is still there
If the deadline was more reasonable or the devs were more efficient (depends on the game, how could I know) the resould would have been more pleasent

If you're rich and famous it's trivial to find a good home for the cat. He's a prick and I wouldn't trust someone so quick to turn on a "beloved" pet. Cat murderer is maybe a bit hyperbolic though.

Why are games so homogeneous these day? I feel like I've played everything already and its all just the same stuff with a different coat of paint

hey stupid. you are living in earth's sixth mass extinction event brought to you by capitalism. tell us again how great it is.

That will legit never happen. You will have ai doing art before you have ai coding.

You can't take risks when you're navigating a $100 million dollar boat.
Indie games though...

I'd argue that's more of a bonus than a specific intent. I'm more likely to blame incompetence, specially since the average AAA game is divided among 5 different studios all around the world, plus any contract work from third parties, than an executive laughing about how the pirates will have to wait an extra hour for their pirated copy.

No I'm a programmer and you're an idiot on a video game board trying to tell another programmer he's wrong about a field he worked in and you haven't

>Or better physics code.
not how it works
You can't keep improving something indefinitely

Jews

He's right. Carmack has loads of money now. He currently does things for the technical challenge. He likes to break new ground. There isn't a lot of room to break new ground in designing game engines anymore.

>Arguably this is one of the current issues in gaming. For all the available tech, optimization is clearly not being properly implemented
He is amazing at optimizing and modern game devs are clear absolute trash at it. He doesn't want to just be the guy who optimizes. He wants to invent new tech. Figuring out how to make games run in 3D is way more interesting than making games run a bit better.

Goddamn retards don't understand that optimisation is a thing
You use the technology you have and make the best of it by finding more efficient ways

These days even developers just brute force shit with good hardware on the user end and don't fucking optimise anything or try to implement absolutely mad technology on exisiting hardware

>they will be able to download the game much quicker by official store compared to by p2p seed.
lmao
torrents are way faster than steam. that argument never made sense.

Sad but legitimately fair response.
This is also why Valve has given up on vidya though considering they have all the money in the world and refuse to use it to fund anything consumers actually want makes their specific situation far more frustrating.

He is right, there is little left to pioneer. Programmers used to have the meat of the work but now its writers and marketeers that have to do most. Making games is a rote thing now.

Existing physics engines are very optimized already. They aren't going to get significantly better. If you think they are you don't understand the math behind them

Based retard

He's not wrong. Leaving graphics aside, you can do just about anything you want.

>trivial
It's a blind geriatric cat that pisses everywhere

I agree that with everything you said but you can also argue that since optimization takes a lot of time, if there was some bit of tech that streamlined the process, it could satisfy both the devs working on a deadline and the managers who force the deadline in the first place.
I'm speaking as someone without any knowledge of programming so take that as you will.

>You can't keep improving something indefinitely
You can't convince anyone you're a dev when you say bullshit like this.

all decisions are made by a board of directors following only what the marketing teams decide will look good in trailers

You can't "just copy" genius.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear
I meant specifically in video gaimu
Rather than making the graphic card brute force all sorts of physics simulations it would be better to bake them on the developers end or programme some kind of stylized faux physics

Gaming is dying or getting worse. Some of you are just growing out of them. Either move on to new genres or a new hobby

You don't know anything about technology if you believe otherwise
Software depends on hardware
You can only improve software up to a certain point until the hardware needs to improve
and we have hit hardware limits too, and we need to find new ways of making processors now to get processors to go significantly faster
If you don't understand the limitations of technology you've got your head in the clouds. If you don't believe me, believe John Carmack

>there’s nothing wrong with dumping your animals at a shelter because you weren’t prepared to take care of it
Why do you think there are so many animals in shelters? People buy them without being prepared, which drives demand for the puppy mills and such to churn them out, and then they just dump them at a shelter because they didn’t expect the stupid fucking animal they bought to do stupid fucking animal things

Carmack and co. were driving Ferraris after doom came out, you oblivious bitch.

Is it bad idea to study software development if I only want to do it for the well paid job and have no actual interest in it?

It's used as a metaphor for impending doom. You have a sword hanging over you without ever knowing when it's going to fall. In the comparison I was making, current devs in AAA never know if the manager/CEO will drop the sword on a whim.

>But I currently work in recruitment and hate my life because work is so tedious and boring and pay is shit.

>According to the story, Damocles was pandering to Dionysius, his king, and exclaimed to him that Dionysius was truly fortunate as a great man of power and authority, surrounded by magnificence. In response, Dionysius offered to switch places with Damocles for one day so that Damocles could taste that very fortune firsthand. Damocles quickly and eagerly accepted the king's proposal. Damocles sat down in the king's throne surrounded by every luxury, but Dionysius, who had made many enemies during his reign, arranged that a huge sword should hang above the throne, held at the pommel only by a single hair of a horse's tail to evoke the sense of what it is like to be king: though having much fortune, always having to watch in fear and anxiety against dangers that might try to overtake him. Damocles finally begged the king that he be allowed to depart because he no longer wanted to be so fortunate, realizing that with great fortune and power comes also great danger
What a stupid fucking story.
>durr being a rich ruler is not enjoyable at all, I LITERALLY have a sword hanging on a hair above me, and there’s NOTHING I can do about it with my position and resources

You missed the point of Damocles by a mile

Well you could point out the horrible job that current game developers do at compressing data or let him know that the technical accomplishments of companies who can fit games on platforms thought impossible is still seen as an admirable achievement.

You're joking, right?
If Dionysius had simply switched places with Damocles for a day, then Damocles would've only gotten the positive side of being powerful. But being the king wasn't just that, it was the constant fear and threat of who might come after you.
Think of it as a CEO. You're in a position of power but you also know that anyone who also wants that power might be coming after you.

>without capitalism there would be basically no video games at all

Even if it was true, that is entirely irrelevant to the point regardless.

Carmack was always the brains, Romero was always the manager/marketer. No wonder they hated each other, but the gaming world will never be the same until they team up again.

Carmack is right. Management in Video Games Industry is the cause of all mental retardation and ruination.
You have a fucking team of developers who created a brand and proved their prowess by making it stick out among all others, you fucking retain them and pay them well instead of sacking/routing them and replacing them with mediocre hacks who never proved themselves. EA's sin.
You have a fucking team of developers who specialize in a gaming genre and have proven themselves in it, you don't fucking assign them to Assassins Sheet and Splinter Cock as a fucking support team, you keep supporting their strongest aspect in a niche with a loyal fanbase which spells certain money. Massive Entertainment and the sin of Ubisoft.

Technically true, what it does is it enables labor to create anything of worth.

Capitalism give purpose (money) and freedom.
Freedom to create useless shit as long as it makes money. Goddamn I fucking love freedom.

good post

It's the first time you have ever read any of those greek fags? For real user, how the fuck did you finish high school without being told that greek theory is about language and nature?
Of course it doesn't make sense if you put it on a modern day scenario, like a CEO or AAA gaming. It shouldn't make sense, we are far from that way of thinking. It's a classical quote to reflect a classical scenario, do not take them literal, there could be 6 swords and 3 Damocles, one tranny and two midgets.
That's it, impending doom. People call themselves 'stoic' and makes little to no sense nowadays, since they don't shit in the woods and fuck blueberry bushes. It just makes you put things in perspective and force your peanut brain to foster an acient way of thinking to drag away modern philosophy to put you thought on another angle.
If you really want to apply it to modern day scenarios, read the fucking thing, not from Wikipedia, like the real thing. If you have time, even learn greek, half of meaning is lost in translation, though you should know that already.

It's amazing how consistently the DK thing has turned out true in my worklife so far. The cocky and abrasive type (the folks you'd imagine to frequent places like this, really) always turn out to be mediocre at best, pleasant and modest people (not necessarily socially competent, just not shitting on people) actually perform better work in addition to being better for team dynamics.

I thought women only got into coding in recent times?

Mass market appeal. Same reason Hollywood is the same rehashed shit.

He's completely wrong though, there's not "challenge" because nobody even tries to make games that do more than cinematic experience and QTE.
Why isnt all damage in monster hunter based on exact collisions of the models, that actually leave wounds? Why can't any war fps allow people to destroy every tree, every building, every props, and allow you to put things in fire or to dig holes? why do most mmo still rely on a roll dice for precision instead of a an actual collision? Why can't I actually do anything in a RPG except killing shit, retrieving shit and check dialog boxes?
And that's just game play, graphics are still overly dependent of super high quality textures and high poly with backed lights instead of allowing itself to have unique styles and non generic effect bought from a third party.
It's baffling someone who is supposed to have invented the fast square root could say that bullshit. What a fucking sell out fraud.

how about fucking better compression methods and shit for a technological limitation so instead of these 10GB games with an extra 14GB of uncompressed audio files in 7 languages the game is instead 1GB

Interestingly, women were fairly prevalent up in the early history of computing and declined from the 60s onwards.

That's great user! Proud of you!

That kind of realism is a meme and always will be

You mean the game that almost wasn’t released at all because of state interference?

Storage and bandwith are problems solved in the first world user.
They don't give a shit about that.

That would be only relevant for third world countries so why waste effort?

You mean tetris?

It was already perfected. Capitalists just fucked it up with garbage like infinite t-spins, which broke the game both in single and multiplayer

Weird. So were they paid shit or really well?

Based. Fuckin cats, peein all over shit.

women are shit, so they get paid what they are worth

Well yeah but coders now get paid well so was just wondering if it was a poorly paid career back in those days

Shit. Programming was seen as work that didn't require much intelligence or creativity. Men were basically ideas guys and thought that the real skill was in coming up with the ideas and idiot could then go on to implement it based on their instructions. Eventually it got through their skulls that programming required talent and they pushed all the women out.

Post the Romero reply.

It will always be a shitty paid career, the guy behind the wheel of a garbage truck has more income.

I'm just kidding, I have no idea what they were paid

people send their elderly to old homes, how come sending animals to shelters considered bad?

Maybe if you code the toilet for the next ISS, sure.
Most coders get paid jackshit, some even get robbed by the same guys that hire them, that's why they put 'easter eggs' and what it looks like irrelevancy in their code, a virtual signature.
Back in the day they got paid a bit more according to inflation, but bury this in your brain kiddo, garbage guy belongs to the union.

The actual programmer, yes. Not code monkeys.

What difference? I work in pharma so know nothing about programming.

Uncompressed audio absolutely sounds better than compressed audio.

The only way you wouldn't notice is if you are using shitty tv speakers or 20$ pc shits.

He's not entirely right either. There's no new technologies coming out at the pace they used to, but 95% of devs are struggling to figure out how to use the technology they have at their disposal already. John Literal Brain With Legs Carmack is still potentially a massive asset in modern game dev.

Worse than 2 mb/s? Show me the numbers faggot.

While hes correct you could also say that he is wrong, if he wants to innovate then there are a billion landscape changing pieces of tech he could invent for exclusively gaming

water and the elements in general are some of the most cruddy attempts at surface level "simulation" in games ATM, if carmack wants to put his head to work then he should "havok" the entire concept of the elements. Literally not a single game on the planet has anything even remotely resembling water that behaves like water

It's usually the customers that force the deadlines. If you miss Christmas, or if you're aiming to release a good bit between two other major releases and not get swamped out but fuck up and release simultaneously with a Rockstar game, say goodbye to your sales.

Hello audiophile sunk-costs placebo retard. Have you affixed your $500 satchets of audiophile "signal clarifying" rocks?

There is no difference, "programmers" think of themselves like some god gifted tech gods, when in reality are just autists with inflated egos. "Code monkeys" are chads that have enough brain power to do the same job, so the programmers get ass blasted that the chads can both program and slay mad pussy.

Making fluid simulation faster is already an intensely well funded area of research.

Fluid dynamics is a cunt.

Pretty much why I love to still do shit in old engines. Limits just makes creativity peak.

How much money did tetris' creator get? How many more games did he develop? Oh...

>only games with loot boxes were developed for profit
lmao

Name one good game created by communism that isn't Tetris (which, by the way, was created by a guy who didn't even like communism and moved to America as soon as he could).

And? No one is forcing you to support any of those devs, just find devs that aren't scum and support those instead.

oh I see. it's just a punching bag you assign everything bad to. none of those are implied by it.

I do. Doesn't change the fact that more developers will be making half-assed products.

>the only reason not to buy loot boxes is to "VoTe WiTh YoUr WaLLeT bRo"
Or, you know, you could just not buy loot boxes because... you don't want them.

I don't give a shit what affect my money has on the industry. I just buy what I want, which happens to be video games that are good. I don't need the industry to count my purchase as a vote for better video games. All of the big publishers, due to the purchasing power of idiots, produce only garbage starting tomorrow, and there would still be some independent developers making quality content. Even if all of those independent developers died tomorrow, there would still be enough games released between 1989 and 2019 to keep my entertained forever.

Vote with my wallet? Why should I do that? I avoid buying bad products because I personally don't enjoy them, not because I need them to stop existing. I don't care what the rest of you retards buy. Fund an infinite amount of garbage; I can still just not buy it.

He's just into technological innovation. The last graphical jump was Crysis.

Cuphead was the last big release outside the five compartment AAA orgy fest that is Zenimax and such.
You can't be so naive to really think there's an option. Even the chinks are on it, which shouldn't come as a surprise since they are always late to the party and point exactly where the guy fingering his sister is.
If chinks got a hand on it and you haven't figured out yet what's going on, you have another thing coming.

>he only plays AAA
Yeah that's your problem, I haven't bought a single AAA game in years.

There's no point talking to Carmack. He's a soulless psychopath. Good at his job, sure, but he doesn't have a single human emotion nor does he comprehend them.

Except that Cuphead is an indie. It's self-published even in Microsoft Store.

People like that arent safe to be around and should be imprisoned. If you dont feel compassion you arent safe to mix with society.

Indie devs then wanted to push the tech and kick ass. Indie devs now want to do a self insert gay simulator

>more developers will be making half-assed products.
And again, you can just not buy them.

If you really believe that wallets do actually work in this day and age, you are high on something.
You didn't buy AAA in years and the market still exists, in fact, it's healthier than ever. How come? You wallet is worth crap for them.

Those people still do not mingle with the general populace. They're harmless because they're 100% honest and predictable.
They're only dangerous to your feelings.

I don't. Millions of retards will do though.

What's left yet?

So let them do it. Why do you care if retards waste their money? Because it will encourage the creation of more products which will cause retards to waste their money? If you don't care about retards wasting their money then it shouldn't bother you.

This is literally (You).

Exactly the point, the last big release, in years, outside the orgy fest of publishers.
It's a good thing, amazing, bought it for me and three copies for my friends.
Hope the devs bought some beer with my money, but to think that I'm actually making a change is beyond belief.

It's not my problem that other people love to pay to get shit smeared on them. I still find tons of indie games enjoyable

This might be difficult for an autist to understand, but some people make their shopping decisions based on what they personally want, rather than as some futile attempt to change the world.

>durr durr bad games still exist
And I'm still not buying them.

Indies can't be major releases.

Why would they?
Unless you're actually giving them a reason to, they won't even bother with you.

Major sucess /= major release.
A major release requires physical releases and, more importantly, a huge marketing campaign.

>He's a soulless psychopath. Good at his job, sure, but he doesn't have a single human emotion nor does he comprehend them.
You mean sociopath

>A major release requires physical releases
Seems pretty arbitrary to me
>a huge marketing campaign
The word "huge", just like the word "major", is entirely relative and subjective.

Alot of those deaths are in asian and african countries.. And alot of them socialist republics

>more of a management challenge
Then maybe he should start an indie studio and pioneer a new gaming technology? I know he's doing VR but games have huge room for improvement with physics and AI.

I challenge you to find a Twitter account of someone who works at a AAA studio who isn't an outright communist/marxist

OP ASK HIM WHEN HE'LL BE ON THE JOE ROGAN PODCAST.

Didn't Carmack meet his match in terms of his genius when he set up an aeronautics company just to fail miserably trying to get a rocket into space?

He got it backwards, story isn't expected, but it is very important.

I know this is a pretty cuck viewpoint, but it always amazes me that you can message these people and they'll respond.

He's not correct. Games don't even have decent footprints effects, decent mirrors, decent physics that isn't gravity. It's a baren empty world with a potential nobody even want to explore because "muh generic shit sells better"

your PC shouldn't require 2000+ dollars to run 3 3d models at 60 fps.

gabe jewell once replied to me.

Which is why I made that separation. Indie devs today aren't necessarily pushing the tech but they are pushing for mechanics or overall game design.

you dont need that. you only need it when developers push graphics too hard for no real payoff.
thats not a technical problem thats a design decision. thats a design decision that will be a factor in a hundred years too. it doesnt matter how strong your PC is or how optimized the software is as long as developers think that pushing visuals is more important than framerate. its 100% on them.

Best thing my ass.

Except he didn't invent the fast square root. Even when it was first found out in the code, Carmack was quick to point out that he didn't. Especially when it was hinted in the comment itself with his "wtf" comment.

>Why isnt all damage in monster hunter based on exact collisions of the models
because consistency trumps realism in videogames.
when capcom tried to make all hitboxes in SF4 align perfectly with the models everybody pointed out that it felt like shit.

Its far more likely that dogs would be doing that

Graphics is the only thing that reached what he's mentioning, combat, AI, puzzles, secrets, level design, all of these things have stagnated for more than a decade just because the minimum work on them is "good enough", all these elements could be vastly improved.

Has he talked about what it's like to be basically the only sole surviving post-palmer purge member of Oculus?

That's... actually a good point.

Modern game engines (unreal and unity) sucked all the soul out of video games. Along with face scanning, every game looks the fucking same.
Dont >> me.

yes teams of 100s of people working togethehr is very streessful to manage
who would have thought

and then there will be no decent games
capitalism wins again baby

Issue is nowadays you don't need 100s of people working on a game. These companies are bloated with fucking idiots who don't add anything to the game. Thus the lack of TECHNOLOGY in newer games.

Indie games are also 90% fartsy artsy hipster bullshit with 'muh retro pixel art'. The middle market has been dead since the late 00s. Even most of the games that could be classified as AA such as Technomancer are shit. I haven't heard of any middle market title being worth a squirt of piss these days.

Story in a shooter should only be there to give context in a game. If you spend more time with cutscenes or walking talking segments you should get back to the drawing board (I'm looking at you, Wolfenstein 2).
